Beautiful patio egg chair, not too terribly difficult to put together for my husband, but if he wasn't an experienced special effects kind of handyman, it may have been a different outcome. A few of the iron connectors were not aligned or too long, so he had to do a little workmanship to cut them down to size to fit. He knows how to do that, but an average guy might have given up and returned the chair. That's the only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5. The chair is great!
